A combination of the study of form and effective functionality, the small egg pan of La Cintura di Orione series is designed with the advice of starred chefs Pierre and Michael Troisgros. Made of highly thick iron which regulates the heat transmitted inside the bowl, it is a small cooking utensil for butter eggs, crepes and omelette.

La Cintura di Orione

The project "La Cintura di Orione", designed by Richard Sapper, dedicated to the private gourmet public, namely those enthusiasts of intelligent and creative cooking who are often led to use some borderline professional utensils because of their culinary passion. That is why most recipients are produced in special dual lamina (outside extra thick copper + inside in 18/10 stainless steel), which offers a more professional performance and allows to recover in modern cooking the advantages of copper as far as conduction and homogeneous distribution of heat are concerned. These features are paired with extremely hygienic stainless steel inside.
